Former Governor Sarah Palin's imperceptibly anticipated memoir called Going Rogue is out in stores and churches on November 17th. Of course, there's no chance in hell I'm reading her autobiography. But, since I feel indebted to Governor Palin for inspiring Tina Fey's awesome impersonation, the least I can do is...

Why is Michele Bachmann obsessed with sex clinics? The Republican representative from Minnesota is so infatuated with the subject of sex clinics, she can't stop talking about them. And if that's not weird enough, Bachmann actually has taken a lot of time to make up elaborate untruths about the proposed...

When I watch news reports on television or online, the information mostly goes in one ear and out the other, like a light aimed at Sarah Palin's head. I hear the headlines and think, "Sure, this could be bad for the stability of the Earth, but does it really affect...

Some people see Rush Limbaugh as a successful entertainer, some see him as a conservative prophet and some see him as the mighty king of all douchebags. No matter what you think of Limbaugh, it's fair to give him credit for his staying power. Like herpes, he never goes away...

Although most of us never met John Hughes, he seemed to know all of us. Can you imagine growing up in the 80's and 90's without John Hughes' movies? His stories defined the coming of age of a generation, showing us how to laugh at our own angst and insecurities...

Recently, "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane told an audience at Comic-Con that Fox is not likely to air a new episode about abortion. Apparently, 20th Century Fox had green-lighted the episode entitled "Partial Terms of Endearment," but then Fox later got cold feet. Sure, it's disappointing, but...

Dear Nutty Birther Lady,

I saw the video clip of your passionate speech to Representative Mike Castle on YouTube right after I watched a cat do the Riverdance. What a great moment it was when you questioned President Obama's citizenship and held up your own birth certificate with the...

According to several news sources, Attorney General Eric Holder is considering whether to appoint a special prosecutor to conduct a criminal investigation of interrogation techniques used during the Bush administration. In other words, Cheney-gate. Or "Saw VII." Sure, the American people need to know what Cheney did and what he's...

I was sitting in my pajamas at my desk and thinking, as writers do, about possible reasons why Governor Sarah Palin would quit her job to go in a "new direction." When you're a Governor with the goal of a national office, you don't throw in the towel. Sure, you...
